    John 4
    • 1   When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
    • 2   (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
    • 3   He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
    • 4   And he must needs go through Samaria.
    • 5   Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
    • 6   Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
    • 7   There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
    • 8   (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.)
    • 9   Then says the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
    • 10   Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
    • 11   The woman says to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?
    • 12   Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
    • 13   Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
    • 14   But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
    • 15   The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
    • 16   Jesus says to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
    • 17   The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband:
    • 18   For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
    • 19   The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
    • 20   Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
    • 21   Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
    • 22   You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
    • 23   But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
    • 24   God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
    • 25   The woman says to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
    • 26   Jesus says to her, I that speak to you am he.
    • 27   And on this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
    • 28   The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and says to the men,
    • 29   Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
    • 30   Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
    • 31   In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
    • 32   But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not of.
    • 33   Therefore says the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him something to eat?
    • 34   Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
    • 35   Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
    • 36   And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.
    • 37   And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.
    • 38   I sent you to reap that where on you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you are entered into their labors.
    • 39   And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
    • 40   So when the Samaritans were come to him, they sought him that he would tarry with them: and he stayed there two days.
    • 41   And many more believed because of his own word;
    • 42   And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
    • 43   Now after two days he departed there, and went into Galilee.
    • 44   For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
    • 45   Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.
    • 46   So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
    • 47   When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and sought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
    • 48   Then said Jesus to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
    • 49   The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
    • 50   Jesus says to him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way.
    • 51   And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives.
    • 52   Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
    • 53   So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.
    • 54   This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
    • 1   When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
    • 2   (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
    • 3   He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
    • 4   And he must needs go through Samaria.
    • 5   Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
    • 6   Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
    • 7   There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
    • 8   (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.)
    • 9   Then says the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
    • 10   Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
    • 11   The woman says to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?
    • 12   Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
    • 13   Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
    • 14   But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
    • 15   The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
    • 16   Jesus says to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
    • 17   The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband:
    • 18   For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
    • 19   The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
    • 20   Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
    • 21   Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
    • 22   You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
    • 23   But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
    • 24   God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
    • 25   The woman says to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
    • 26   Jesus says to her, I that speak to you am he.
    • 27   And on this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
    • 28   The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and says to the men,
    • 29   Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
    • 30   Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
    • 31   In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
    • 32   But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not of.
    • 33   Therefore says the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him something to eat?
    • 34   Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
    • 35   Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

    • 37   And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.
    • 38   I sent you to reap that where on you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you are entered into their labors.
    • 39   And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

  • American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)

    2023-12-27

    English (en)

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
